G'day from Hobart

[Masha]

Hi to all.

44 year old whose woodwork credentials are a botched pencil case in about Grade 7. Have always wanted to be able to do something a bit creative, so went out and bought a few basic tools and some timber and built myself a bench. These forums were really helpful and interesting, so I joined. I hope to accumulate a few more tools and undertake some more projects, as I really enjoyed putting my bench together, albeit with a lot of trial and a lot more error.

I guess that buying a couple of books on some basic woodworking skills, and outlining some projects might be a good kick off point? Grateful for any guidance.

Cheers, Masha

Hi Masha, welcome to the forum. Yes books can help and you can learn a lot from this forum and a good idea is to google some projects on utube,theres some interesting vids out there that can give you a few ideas. Great to have you aboard

Welcome to the forum.

That's a good way to start with a few tools. I know that can get out of hand and soon you will have lots of tools. I know that I am saving to buy tools.

Gday Masha, welcome to the forums. Always good to see more Taswegians in here.
So you made the pencil box too? lol there must be thousands of those things in land fill by now.
